    If you can stomach an album of badly done Autotune, this album doesn't sound like it will be that bad.

    Dude may be proud of this output for the time being, but a few years from now when the autotune craze has ended? b, 21b, 21img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nagl2.gif" alt="" 21b, 21b, 21and... How is Heartless that much different that Love Lockdown? It could almost be a reprise...

    Here is a CRAZY Kanye related story. This is a GOOD ONE! LOL....b, 21b, 21b, 21From Ballerstatus.netb, 21b, 21Suge Knight Sues Kanye West Over 2005 Shootingb, 21 b, 21Published: Wednesday - November 12, 2008b, 21Words by Ronnie Gamble b, 21 b, 21b, 21Suge Knight, once a powerful music mogul, is suing rapper Kanye West for his publicized shooting in 2005, claiming West is to blame because it was his party.b, 21b, 21According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Knight and his attorneys filed a lawsuit a day before Halloween in Los Angeles, blaming Kanye for allowing an individual to sneak a gun in to his pre-MTV VMAs past at Miami's The Shore Club three years ago, resulting in Knight being shot.b, 21b, 21Knight holds West accountable for not taking "reasonable measures to ensure weapons were not brought into the party," failing to "warn him of the dangers presented by weapons" that were allowed into the event, and for losing a 15-carat diamond stud earring worth $135,000 during the incident.b, 21b, 21The lawsuit claims that Knight's injuries -- resulting from shot to his upper right leg that shattered a bone -- he had to undergo months of physical therapy, suffered permanent impairment in his mobility, and racked up significant medical expenses -- including medical treatment, ambulance costs, and the costs of a private jet to transport him from Miami to Los Angeles.b, 21b, 21All of this, Knight claims, let him unable to work, resulting in the loss of income.b, 21b, 21According to TMZ, despite Knight being bankrupt, he has worked out a deal with the court that will allow him to keep a percentage of any money he collects from the suit.b, 21b, 21Inquiries to West's camp were not returned at press time.

    A friend of mine heard a few cuts off it last week. He said it all sounded as if it could have been made by a couple of gay dudes in the 80s (he's a gay dude, btw).

    b, 21b, 21Um. b, 21b, 21h, 21The stuff I heard sounds decent minus the points where Kanye decides to not use Autotune properly and think that he can sing. I mean, it's definitely late for dude to be putting out something like this but I think it's good that he can put out a quite different album from each previous one. Compare this shit to College Dropout. b, 21b, 21Maybe I ride because I like the album title? I don't know. It's really going to suck for him when people revisit this album years later and see that it didn't reach its potential because of Autotune.

    Did he just compare himself to Quincy?b, 21b, 21From what I've heard so far this album is unlistenable.

    This seems like a release primed for an alter ego.b, 21b, 21Get it out of your system, regardless of feedback, and keep on doing what you do.b, 21b, 21I don't see this as part of a img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/goat.gif" alt="" 21 producer progression, if that's what he's going for.

    b, 21b, 21Yep. I think with a decade's perspective, we will look back at the autotune onslaught with a major cringe.

I've always viewed it as an embarassing crutch. there was maybe room for one R&B dude for whom this was his "signature" or whatever. but it spread like a weird plague and infected even otherwise talented artists. NAGL.

    b, 21b, 21Yeah, I read somewhere he'll be releasing a more hip-hop-centric album in 2009. I can't ride for this singing shit though. I hated on the last album based off of Stronger & Can't Tell Me Nothin, but then finally got it a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised. After hearing all the leaks the last few weeks though, I don't think that'll happen with this album.

    I'm w/ed & jay on "Love Lockdown" - I've been expecting it become a pop hit since first hearing it.

    this stuff doesn't sound that promising, but the last time there was a discussion about a new Kanye album it was met with a ton of hate and then it seemed like the album ended up growing on most people.b, 21b, 21b, 21I like Graduation.b, 21b, 21auto tune does not wear well on Kanye. b, 21b, 21It's also odd people are still riding it so hard when T-Pain, who is probably the best at the autotune thing is talking about how autotune is dead.
